Once on u time boldc younge Knighte,

Ho loved maiden fniro to see
And wisht to wedde that saim.
Ye faire Elizabeth il was,
And shee WAS colde as fairc,
And whan yc knighte ho would have

"oh, take NEE, fairc Elizabeth"
The youngc De Grassic sighed
"Get,e QUITE Get'e QUITE you little boye,"
Elizabeth shce cried.
Then turned DE Grassie's hartc to steele,
His kne uponne We iloorc

"Thcn I'll take you, he sworc.
He gnawed his pale mustache withc ire
His arinorcd bangs he tore,
And snatching uppe yc frightened Made,
He ile,idc to Balti-More.
Uponne his goodc white steede he rode,
As knighte did seldommc ride;
His aide No Guieras was behinde
Bencathc his arme his bride,
He founde ye parsonpe and yo clark
"llo varlets here " he cried,
Death to you both, unless ye make
This lovelic maide my bride y
And they were sair afraide of him,

"Peace peace, goode Knight" they cried

While he was wedde, his aide torsooth
Did holde his horse outside.

WASHINGTON. DEC, IS, 1857.
THE GENERAL WELFARE.

1t is strange what bug-a-boo the
general welfare clausc of the Cons,i-
fulton is TO some people, just rs II the
Constitution itself were not general
vslfare ordinance Of the broadcst and
most comprehensive description.
Does it mover occur to the sensitive
nlarmists who are all the time talking
about the encroachments of the Gen
cral Government that the Uuion itself
was an act of Capitalization?
What was the Confederation of States
but a looso-jointed, crudely conceived
and impracticable fellowship, incapable
of administering to the general welfare,
of the people? What was the object oil
the more perfect Union" but to make
efficient provision for the general well
fare? And what would become of the
power to provide for the general well
fare, il left to the individual dotermin-
alton of the States as reserved right?
Is there anything obscure in the tcrm7
Is it not sufficiently contradistinguished
from the local right of self-government
toEprevent Understandings?
The Constitution provides for uni
form system Of naturalization, but leaves
to the Statesto determine respectively
the qualifications of their voters.
Congress under the Constitution may
establish q uniform system of bank
ruptcy, but leaves to each State to make
its own laws for the ordinary collection
of debts.
Tho clause which provides for the or.
gapizing, arming and disciplining of the
rnilitfn also reserYesto the States the ap-
polntment of officers and the authority
6strainfng the forces thus organized.
Congress may regulate commerce
among tho several States, but cannot
make laws for the regulation of their
local traffic.
Il may levy nd collect taxes for the
common defense and general welfare, :"
but has nothing TO do with the levying
and collection of taxes within the States
for local State purposes
The lines of discrimination between
Constitutional authority and States
rights are clearly and carefully drawn.
Why, then, may not Congress, acting
under the Constitution in behalf of the
general welfare" make provision for
educational purposes, 10 long as the
rights of the States to manage their own
schools in their own way are not med
died with?
Why not establish systems of inter-
communication by electric wires, as
we'll as by railroad and mail-coach?

Division followed on Girouard's amend.
ment to allow the sale Of beer and light

voted down by majority of SIS.
Sproule then moved an amendment to the
main motion to the effect that when found
expedient to grant prohibition it should be
accompanied by a reasonable measure OF
compensation.
Fisher moved that Sprouie's amendment
be struck out and the following added to
the main motion: "Compensation being q
matter Of detail that such be cons idered
when a measure Of prohibition is before the
House" This was carried by majority OF
three votes.

THE LONG AND sHORTHAUL
Decision OF the o. m nmb.'opers ON this I'M
poItspt Subject.

Deciston OF the CH m mbh'opefs on thh I'M =
poItsIt Subject.
WASHINGTON, june 15.-The Inter-
State Commerce Commission rendered to-
night their ong expected decision upon the
fourth section of the Interstate act, which
prohibits n greater charge for the transpor-
tation of passengers and property over a
shorter than longer distance in the same
direction under substantially similar cir
cumstances and conditions. The decision
is made upon the petition of the Louisville
and Nashville and other railroad companies
which were among the first to apply for re.
lief from the operation OF the fourth
section OF the law. The decision is
very long, comprising more than fifteen
thousand words, but the most important
feature is the announcement Of the COM
mission, after mature consideration, that
the statute does not require it to prescribe
in every instance the exceptional case and
grant its order for relief before the carrier
is at liberty in Its tariffs to depart from the
general rule. The carrier must judge for
itself what are substantially the similar
circumstances and condition which allow
a special rate. rebate or drawback, which
| is made unlawful by section 'D' and Sec
ton "A" since no tribunal is empowered
to Judge for 1t until after the carrier has
acted and then only for the purpose of de-
termining whether its action constitutes a
| violation of law.
The commissioners say they were unani-
nous in the opinion and conclude it as fol-
lows: "The order for temporary relief
made In favor Of petitioners will be allowed
To remain in force until the day originally
| limited for its expiration"
Other petitions for relief under the
| fourth section OF the law numbered, the
| Commission say, firty-four. and the tempo
| rary orders made in some Of these petitions
will in like manner be permitted TO rem aiu
In force until the expiration limited in
each. No further order will be made upon
any petition, for although two or three of
the cases may not by the facts rected in
the applications for relief be brought strict
ly within the principles above discussed,
yet they all present what are claimed to be
different circumstances and conditions,
adequate TO authorize the exceptions to the
general rule, and II petitioners are persuad-
ed that the fact is what they represent
they should act accordingly.
